Screen Printing
The best prints are
Made with !nk
Screen printing is the process that started everything for !nk back in 1988. Much has changed since those early days, but the basics of the craft are still the same - create a print that is soft, vibrant, and the highest quality.
While many other ".com" printers prioritize efficiency over quality, Ink has spent years developing expert leaders and equipping them with the best technology available.

Standard Soft
Our standard inks are carefully mixed to guarantee accurate, long-lasting colors with a soft feel. With over 400 ink colors in stock and cataloged digitally, our art and production teams ensure your design looks just as good as the proof you approve - maybe even better.
Need a custom ink color? We can mix that for you too.
Water-based (Super Soft)
Water-based screen printing inks are crafted to soak into the fabric fibers, giving you a print that feels incredibly soft. Unlike traditional plastisol inks that just sit on the surface, water-based inks blend seamlessly with the garment, making the print feel like it's part of the fabric. This technique results in the softest print possible, where you can't tell where the print ends and the shirt begins; it all just feels like one smooth piece.
Full Digital Hybrid Printing
Experience the best of both worlds with digital hybrid screen printing: the full-color range of DTG meets the durability and consistency of traditional screen printing. With our next-generation equipment, we deliver unlimited, full-color designs for your large orders, ensuring vibrant prints that perfectly capture your vision without having to worry about screen count.
Specialty Inks
Specialty inks such as puff, gel, glitter, waterbased, and wet reveal offer unique effects that can elevate custom apparel designs. Puff ink creates a raised texture, gel ink adds a glossy finish, glitter ink provides sparkle, waterbased ink offers a soft feel and eco-friendly appeal, and wet reveal ink reveals a hidden design and/or message when exposed to water, adding an interactive element. Using these inks can make your designs stand out with distinct textures, finishes, and visual effects, enhancing the overall appeal and uniqueness of your custom apparel orders.
